"Solo traveling woman, USA, I had an amazing experience! I'm practicing Japanese and the employees were incredibly patient and kind when speaking and allowing me to try to speak as well! I did not feel any condescending or rude behavior and everyone was very hospitable! I also felt very safe here in the neighborhood is very quiet and, although slightly out of the way, preferred since I didn't hear much noise or have many issues with lots of people coming in and out. The place is old but very traditional and enjoyable to stay in! It came with a yukata which was super cute and fun to wear!! They provided all of the amenities I needed and the bath was so comfortable! There was no women staying at the same time as me. So during the bath time I got it all to myself~ at first it was a bit awkward going downstairs in my yukata to shower and bathe, but after the first day I got very used to it! There isn't a laundry in the hotel but there's one super close by and the walk was super easy and lots of vending machines on the way! The staff doesn't speak much English but I was totally fine with that and honestly it was preferred! They seemed to be able to speak enough if needed though~ as a solo traveling woman, I highly suggest this spot~ It was my very first time traveling solo as well!"
